Lovely historical cottage, cosy and a wonderful part of history. Location is fabulous if doing the Hauraki Rail Trail (outside the door) and/or catching the train to/from Waikino. Took our dog, not fully fenced but still loves it.

Relaxing Stay
Property was exactly as listed and had everything we needed for a relaxing stay. Love all the things that the area has to offer such as the Rail Trail, Train, Waihi Beach. Location to town was excellent and we completed many walks around town and the area, enjoyed short car rides to Pareoa, Whangamata, Onemana and Katikati. Thanks.

Perfect for trail cyclists.
The cottage was charming, clean and comfortable. The location was perfect, , a welcome sight at the end of the trail and an easy 15 min walk to the main street. A shed to lock up the bikes was a bonus.

Good stay with some hiccups
The shunter's cottage is certainly quaint and was a good experience for us. However, we need to mention some things: The washing machine stopped working halfway through and we couldn't trigger it to keep going. So we had to fish out our soaking wet washing. Thankfully there was a laundromat in town we could take it to. So we had to leave the water sitting in the machine. We were concerned about the combination of all the extension leads plus multibox in the main bedroom but only 1 smoke alarm in the whole house. We feel there needs to be a second one near the bedrooms. Thanks Raewyn and Stephen

Character property
The house is old & cute and has been tastefully furnished to reflect this. However, there are a lot of large cobwebs and spiders, you can see daylight around the toilet 'outflow' (it needs sealing), and there was a large cockroach in the bedroom that I used. The check-in process wasted several hours of my holiday trying to track Chris down because he hadn't sent me the door code (as he had promised to). When I finally got a response from him he didn't apologise for the inconvenience that he had caused. Because of this and the cockroach I wouldn't stay here again.
